Falling for the Forward — Brenda Rothert

Suki Cox gets it—her name makes her a walking punchline. It stopped being funny to her about two decades ago, but a recent viral social media post about her parents' unfortunate choice has shined the spotlight on her for all the wrong reasons yet again.So when her new boss, a sulky pro hockey player who recently became the guardian of his three nieces, proposes an actual proposal to help him secure permanent custody of the girls, she's all in. If Suki fake marries Carter Stanton for one year, and pretends to be his doting wife, she'll get half a million dollars and a clean divorce at the end of the deal. And the best part? A new last name she can keep forever. It's a foolproof plan. At least, it seems like it. As Suki grows closer to Carter and his nieces, though, her feelings for them become very real. But does her brooding boss feel the same?
